The Sky needed to get back in the win column.
After dropping two straight at Wintrust Arena, including a loss to the last-place Storm on Friday, they had moved into a tie with the Sparks for the eighth and last playoff spot. The Sky’s 104-85 victory against the Mercury on Sunday not only put them a game up on the Sparks, but it provided a much-needed reset after they opened the second half losing three of four.
